Last night at practice I promised Master Eldred a few youtube videos, particularly this one with a lesson on fencing with a buckler.

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxgVcCbEO0M&feature=related
A lesson on gaining the blade & mechanical advantage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij2D4NRXyH4&feature=related
Italian lunge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiA6kOZbIGg&feature=related
These are fairly basic lessons that I think are pretty good. There are a few videos of Tom Leoni I found while getting these links that I'll have to check out and write about in the future.

A project list
Well, it seems I've finally gotten past the post-Pennsic not working on projects phase.
My current project is my first landsknecht outfit. I've started on the shirt, and we'll see how the pleated collar goes. Its proven a bit more complicated than my previous shirts and I'm trying to decide whether to finish it with a neck band or a cable stitch. I suppose I'll get lots of practice with these because I've promised to help Jlona make her shirts/chemises and the Hungarian shirts seem to work the same way.
It will hopefully end up something like this: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnMVttcBtyiY0xyM1IRgD8WS5NZw-Djyzv5wzFxmwRHBePD4WLf0r6doEUFvn3f95CpiH4JuLnJC4o9nJd5jvPtY6W1BCunTcyWXIsx6mmMNhnrbGCmkjP0AKtJCtNRT3pNcEn6HQlH8w/s1600-h/DSCF3051.jpg
My goal is to have my landsknecht kit ready for Ymir, as it will be one of the few events I might need/want to wear a bunch of felted wool. I'm partial to some of the outfits in this series of illustrations: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bibliodyssey/3247167359/in/set-72157613230877937/
If I get particularly ambitious, I might start working on an arming doublet as well this weekend. The inside of my arms got a little chewed up by the strap at heavy practice the other day.
